you guys shouldn't do jumps too much on hard tails because it can wear out the rear axel espesially when you have the pop off feature for the tires
-
lol. guess what, i have 21 speed
-
I used to love klein bikes fantastic colours schemes and over sized aluminium tubes , and their road bikes were super lite ,wish they were still making them
-
Sorry guys, but one huge icon was missed!!!! a little known fella by the name of Gary friggn Fisher. cmon. introduction of Genesis geometry.... Love the list, But the first installment of the Hookooekoo (Hkek) Sugar Race please.
-
Good to see 99% of the viewers didn't fall for the bullshit of newer bikes magically making you faster. Next time put 2 bikes of comparable quality together rather than a £300 vs a nearly £3000 bike eh?
-
the one with the new bike is such a douche...
-
That is not a real Klein though. I'd love to see a proper review of an 1990 Attitude like I had or an Ardroit.
-
Old bike is much faster because...... costs a fraction so you can start riding months before you have the money for the new one.
-
Faster isn't always more fun. I bet he felt more safe with those Canyon cart wheels.
-
I'd like to see this comparison redone with new tires, wider bars, and a shorter stem on the Klein. The weight difference, wheel size, and disc brakes might be the only significant advantages over the Klein. I'd also bet that the Klein would be more fun to ride!
-
26'' vs 29'' ......... 29'' will always will
-
The Klein wins for me because it has survived 19 years and is in good shape, in 8 years or less the canyon will be in a skip, nuff said
-
what where the weights of these bike
-
with NO suspension
-
there were high end bikes in the 80s...ibis,breezer, fat chance,yeti....they are always left out
when people say retro...people rode hard back then too -
1997 isnt retro ...1985 we were shredding on fully rigid
-
Carbon Fiber is great until it snaps in half! There's a good reason the Klien's still around 20 years later.
-
Still ride my dad´s old rockrider 7.1 with 27 gears hahaha
-
Let's all be honest Neil is the best rider here
-
